Perfect Your Posture

Over time, your poor posture takes a tremendous toll on your spine, hips, shoulders, and knees. In fact, it can cause a cascade of structural flaws that result in acute problems, such as reduced flexibility, joint pain throughout your body, and compromised muscles, all of which can limit your ability to burn fat and build strength.
